Awwww.....come on you guys, let's get on with genealogy and quick bickerin. I'm from WV & KY and when I moved north I was called all kinds of things. But you know what? It didn't bother me because I know who and what I am. Kids carry on like this, not adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geeze

Valeria, The only reference I find that might be your Seaborn is from page 32. It shows census research for the 1850 Census in Orangeburgh District, South Carolina. Apparently on the 1850 Census there is listed in household # 327: Buzbee, S (Sebe?) 40 m w SC Rachel 35 f w SC William 7 m w SC Sarah 5 f w SC Heziah 2 f w SC Unfortunately this S. (Sebe?) Busby/Buzbee is not listed anywhere else in the book. The writer was simply giving Busby households that she found on the Census. I would assume the parenthesis after the S. in the first name are her addition. And not actually on the census page. Sincerely, Jodi

Carla, Once again, another dead end. I cannot find your Busby family referenced in the book. Jodi

Tom, Your James A., Dr. James Edward, and Dr. John Busby are not to be found in the book. Neither is Theophilus or wife Amanda Grace (Roberts) Busby. Regrets, Jodi

Done, hope to see you join us again if you do find the link.

Jodi, I have had little luck finding info on my family. James A. Busby was born 1812 in Scotland to Dr. James Edward Busby who was son of Dr. John Busby of Northamptonshire, England. James A. died 1855 in Chicago of cholera. From here forward, I have most except for my grandmother, Amanda Grace Roberts born born 1886 I think in NW Iowa and marries Theophilus Price Busby in 1908. Would you please check the book for any of the above? It seems most onfo on web is on southern Busby. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Thanks Barbie!Glenda

Dear Jody: Thank you for your offer to look up Busby! I am trying to find out info on John Busby, Sr.. He died in Maryland about 1791. I believe his wife's name was Mary. His son, John Busby, Jr. married Edith Price about 1774, and he died abt. 1791 also. Jr. had 11 children: Mary Busby (Samuel Shaul 27 Mar. 1812) Elizabeth Busby Melinda Busby (Daniel Osborn 27 Feb. 1796) Dorcas Busby (John Ford 4 Feb. 1815) Benjamin Busby Rachel Busby Edith Busby (John Pitts 28 Jan. 1802) Huldah Busby Ureth Busby (?

Thanks again! Carla Busby

I have seen two post entitled Derogatory terms. This will please cease now. I will not allow the Civil War to be fought on the Busby List. Be warned, next one gets unsubbed, I really hate to do it but will. Each of us preceives what is written in different ways and each is entitled to speak our opinions but I would rather it be done private email and keep this forum strictly genealogy. Thank you Barbie

HI In Australia we say hacker, and I take it, he was refering to someone who was messing around with computer systems. I read it as hacker. In any case, I only have eyes for genealogy, Gaila To All List Members I have noticed that many Busby's subscribing to this mailing list are either located in our fair Southern part of the country or they have close ties to Southern Busby's I though you might find the following enlightening concerning how the owners and staff of RootsWeb perceive our brethren I came across a story at GenWeb's home pages ("AN (ALMOST) UNEXPURGATED HISTORY OF ROOTSWEB" by Dr. Brian Leverich) while looking for something else. I became alarmed when I read his story and found repeated use of the word "cracker" in several paragraphs, evidently referring to some problem with someone in Atlanta. Perhaps, in this day of supposed political correctness, it is okay for self-effacing elitists to slander and degrade our southern cousins and fear no reprisal for the effort. However, I ask each of you with whatever resolve you can muster to register your protest of the use of the term by an organization desiring and attempting to be recognized as a leader in their field. Responsible and genuine company's/leaders do not go around calling their customers/followers foul and derogatory names (certainly not in public). The following is my post to the GenWeb HelpDesk board: The use of a degrading term referring to a certain element of our society in "AN (ALMOST) UNEXPURGATED HISTORY OF ROOTSWEB" by Dr. Brian Leverich, co-moderator, soc.genealogy.methods/GENMTD-L, RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative, is not becoming of anyone or any site worth taking seriously. His willingness to use the term "cracker" and your willingness to display it in his "article" mark both of you as pretending to an intellectual elitism that is not only unbecoming, but also insults every single individual in this country with an education exceeding kindergarten Is this the things people learn at Harvard? I hope you consider removing either the offending article or the term. By the way, many of my distant relatives are in Atlanta and surrounding areas. I will post this to the surname list and see if any others are as incensed as I am that you would use such a derogatory term to describe ANYONE. You are welcome to use my message and to depart from it as you see fit.

Thank you Barbarba. Enough has been said.

Hi, I thought I would give it another try. My Elusive and Lost Busby is Judge (his name as according to death cert., marriage lic., and family) Benjamin Busby was born 12 Mar. 1886. His death certificate states he was born in Aiken County, SC while the 1920 census says he was born in Georgia. He was first married, to my knowledge, to Nora ???. This is according to the 1920 census for Jasper County, SC. Nora was born in Georgia. She died in Richmond County, Georgia on 15 November 1920, according to her obituary. Judge and Nora had no children. After Nora's death, Judge moved back to Jasper County, SC and married Alneta McKenzie, daughter of Benjamin Rollin and Nettie Woods McKenzie. This second marriage took place 1 Feb. 1921 in Jasper County, SC. Judge's address at the time is listed as Augusta, Richmond County, GA. according to the marriage license. The couple had 5 children, one who was born after Judge's death. Judge died 23 Mar. 1932, in Tillman, Jasper County, SC. After Judge's death his wife, Alneta, and children lived with Alneta's parents. Judge shows up in the 1910 census in Richmond Co., GA. in the Augusta Jail. He is single at the time. I can find no trace of him or his family in the 1900 census yet. The only other thing I know about Judge Benjamin Busby is that his parents are listed as John or Jack (the writing is faded) and Eliza Busby according to his death certificate. I can not prove if Judge had brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles. Although my father in law believes Judge had a sister named Jessie. Jessie Busby married 1st ??? Wallace in Aiken Co., SC and 2nd ?? Outz. Also a possible sister named Maggie who married a Charlie Kent or Kemp. I hope that someone might be able to offer some help. Thanks, Karen ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it. Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month!

Michael, Although I have not seen the article to which you refer, I find it completely reprehensible that any person or organization purporting to exist to promote genealogy would use such a term. Are they going to use other such words next. I completely support your stand on this matter. The article should be removed and an apology should be posted!

Iam looking for the names of Whilemina Busby Moffitt's parents.She married William John Moffitt in Omagh District in 1857 and they had 7 children. She along with the 7 children came to Canada in 1880.I believe she was born in 1838 - not sure which county or country as I understand the original Busby's came from England. Can anyone enlighten me on WHILEMINA BUSBY married to John Moffitt who was - born in 1836 and died in 1879. Sincere Thanks in Advance Mary Reply to mmarsh@ebtech.net

For those of you who do not know, "CSA" stands for the Confederate States of America or in some instances the Confederate States Army.

Patrick, Sorry, but I could not find a Balaam Busby/Buzbee/Busbee mentioned in the book... Jodi

Dear Marie, I am distressed at what appears to be the beginning of a "war of words" concerning the use of the word Cracker. I think we should all assume that there has been some miscommunication between the involved parties and just get back to using our RootsList for it's intended purpose; to help each other find our lost ancestors and provide information about our past. Rather than use the list as a forum for disagreements, we should ask both parties to accept that people make mistakes and often misunderstand situations. The RootsList does a wonderful service and I think it's time to get back to business. Marie Evans McQueen wrote: > Thank you for sending the message, "Deragotory Terms."

Barbie, I'm sorry to use your list like this but this correction is required. It is unfortunate to see an inept newbie to genealogy and to rootsweb.com, slander others when he doesn't have a clue what he writes about. Read below what Michael Busby read and assumed was *yankee slander*. What Michael did is not only incorrect it's a bit stupid on his part. The following is copied and pasted from the article Michael thinks he read. ~~~~~~~~ In May of 1997 RootsWeb adopted 1,000 Maiser mailing lists, after that server was destroyed by a spam attack from the sleazes at Atlanta's Benchmark Printing. Another 227.7 gallons of coffee were consumed and 6.38 stomach linings destroyed. At the same time the Maiser lists were settling in, RootsWeb had its final round of attacks by a cracker who had been breaking into its systems for months. Things culminated in a sort of surreal exchange of e-mail between the cracker and B, and that seems to have ended the problem. ~~~~~~~ This is the use of the word cracker as in *safe cracker* or *computer cracker* or *server cracker* meaning one who crackes into or breaks into. This use of cracker has nothing to do with the name Georgia Crackers which I'm not one OR the name Florida Cracker which I am one. Michael Busby needs to stick to doing his genealogy and silently lurk for a long while before he again attempts to spread *ignorant* poison on Dr. Brian Leverich or anyone else while using mailing list. PLEASE FORWARD THIS CORRECTED INFORMATION TO ALL SITES/MAIL LIST THIS BUNK WAS SENT TOO. THE TRUTH NEEDS TO BE KNOWN. .....
